| For me, I think it's because I have strong views of things, and I have a habit of pushing these on others. I try not to, but even without meaning it, I've said something offensive or stupid. |

| I for one agree with the ban. Not even from a religious perspective, but from an animal welfare perspective. I recently read that a cow has blood supplied to the brain from the back of the neck, so it will take longer to die, and probably suffer because of this. I've also seen videos of this sort of... |

| Recently my self confidence has hit even lower lows, and I've been on antidepressants for depression and anxiety. But recently I've learnt that I guy likes me, and I like him. Now normally I suppose this should be nice and simple. We get together and see how it goes. But, it just scares me senseless... |

| I'm not really much of a socialiser. I just don't have the desire anymore. Humans are social species and normally seek attention of others. Even if they don't have anything in common with them. It's just our nature I guess. I often wonder why I don't have this desire.I'm really not fussed if I don't... |

Meet Benny. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Benny-the-Autistic-Horse/228602404793 Whether or not an animal can be classed as autistic, i dont know, i think it would be to hard to actually understand how the mind of an animal works.

| For someone who lives in northern ireland and grew up here, i find this topic interesting. I guess the way i see it, is that i would like to see a united ireland, but not at the expense of people lives. The RIRA is a terrorist organisation who are not afraid to kill inocent people to get their point... |

| I guess the biggest interest in my life, and the one thing i am good at, is working with horses. And they have really become part of my life, i work with them on a daily basis, but still, although i love them to bits, if im obsessing over something, like my current obsession which is bbc drama Merli... |

| I don't have good intelligence either. When I was at school, I was always slightly behind the rest of the class, and seemed to be on the same level as the 5 or 6 other kids that had learning difficulties, mostly with maths, science, and computers. I was OK at english because I had good spelling and... |

| why do you think u dont read body language/facial expressions well? Is it because you dont recognise what it means, understand what it means, or just dont notice it. I could probably read body language and cues, but most times i just dont notice. I cant seem to give people enough attention to keep t... |

| I have used the term 'invisibilty' quite often in describing how I feel when I am an in a group of people over the years. When I am around 1 or 2 other people I feel normal but more than that I feel totally out of place and ignored. Ditto this. It really is like im invisible, or almost like an intr... |
